The major item on the agenda was a scaled-back tree preservation bylaw. A more restrictive bylaw was withdrawn from the October 2020 Town Meeting. The Select Board declined to include the bylaw on the warrant for the June 12, 2021 Town Meeting. Planning Board Chair Brian Charville said the bylaw “has been substantially pared back” as it applies only to “building activities,” which are defined as new subdivisions, new home construction on existing lots, home renovations with expansion equal to or greater than 50 percent of the current square footage, projects requiring special permits or variances and site plan approvals. The bylaw protects trees with diameters of six inches or more located in so-called “tree borders” (or zoning setback) zones. The bylaw does not prohibit the removal of trees that are deemed unsafe or hazardous. Protected trees that are removed must be replaced with trees no less than two inches in diameter on an inch-for-inch basis. If trees are not replaced, homeowners must pay an equivalent sum ($400 per two-inch caliper tree) into the existing Tree Replacement Fund. Charville added that the board plans to submit the bylaw for consideration at the October Town Meeting and the board “wants your feedback to keep the conversation going.” Select Board Chair Dick Dalton said he still “sees some issues” with the bylaw. “People may be concerned when you look at some of the setbacks and I’m a little bit troubled by that looking at it politically as something that people can get behind,” he said. Fellow board member Joe Connell said he was impressed with the amount of detail in the bylaw. “This is representative of tons and tons of work and the detail is outstanding.” Tree Committee member Jane Bandini expressed strong sentiment at getting the bylaw to Town Meeting. “It’s about time we get to vote on it, to bring it to the Town Meeting and let everyone see what’s going on,” she said. “You either pay or replace it, that’s not too much to ask.” The Board also voted to tie up some loose strings in town regulations regarding the use of Pillings Pond. Assistant Town Administrator Bob Curtin said the town has been duly following its adopted policies, but such policies never were codified. “These were minor changes made over the years regarding docks and licensing, but somehow the adopted changes never worked their way into specific regulations,” Curtin said. “It’s about adopting what has already been adopted.” The Board voted to establish a Public Safety Building Committee, naming Connell, Fire and Emergency Management Team Chief Glenn Davis, acting Police Chief Nick Secatore, School Building Committee Chair John Scenna and Finance Committee member Kristen Elworthy as members. “This committee is a great idea,” said board member Phil Crawford. “The members all are well versed in their respective capacities and will be able to study the issues and bring forth advice to us.” In other business, the board established Monday, Aug. 16 as the opening date for acceptance of articles for the Town Meeting warrant and Monday, Sept. 27 (6 p.m.) as the closing date; they also announced it is accepting nominations for the Daniel Townsend Award. Nominations may be submitted to the Town Administrator office or emailed to Curtin. The deadline for nominations is Monday, Sept. 6. The town also approved the use of various town properties for the Sept. 26 Northeast Arc 5K for Inclusion Road Race and Sept. 11 First Responders Day and 9/11 observance.
